Reviews:

1. Servers are a rarity when it comes to reviews, so we should cherish every one of them - including today’s review of the Dell PowerEdge SC430 by TrustedReviews.

   Specs-wise, the SC430 is healthy, but not particularly amazing. With a 2.8GHz Pentium D processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM and up to 1TB of SATA or SCSI storage (much less than 1TB for SCSI), it’ll do what most Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) need it to do, but don’t expect it to power production-level web applications.

   Given its competitive price though, it scores a strong 8 out of 10 overall rating, with a favourable verdict: “The SC430 is certainly a good candidate for very small businesses on a tight budget looking for their first server. You don’t get any management or monitoring features and the embedded SATA controller doesn’t support RAID arrays but the server is very well built, it includes a good specification for the price and workers in small offices will appreciate its near silent running.”
